NAACP wants a Civil Rights Case against George Zimmerman


The NAACP wants the DOJ to open a Civil Rights Case against George Zimmerman. Like many of us, the NAACP calls bullshit on the case and wants the DOJ involved.

Here's the petition:

A jury has acquitted George Zimmerman, but we are not done demanding justice for Trayvon. Sign our petition to the Department of Justice today.

Attorney General Eric Holder,

The Department of Justice has closely monitored the State of Florida's prosecution of the case against George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin murder since it began. Today, with the acquittal of George Zimmerman, it is time for the Department of Justice to act.

The most fundamental of civil rights — the right to life — was violated the night George Zimmerman stalked and then took the life of Trayvon Martin. We ask that the Department of Justice file civil rights charges against Mr. Zimmerman for this egregious violation.

Please address the travesties of the tragic death of Trayvon Martin by acting today.

Thank you.

If you have a moment, please sign.

As soon as I saw this on my Twitter timeline last night, I signed up. I hope they get over a million signatures. If they haven't already.
